>>521165135fucking hate steamworks I feel like when I finally finish bokube soon learning how to use steamworks will be the final boss stopping me from releasing a finished fucking game for another 2 months

>>521165715Did you see that marnix reviewed your steam page?
>>521165715what do you need from steamworks?
TODAY is the day I turn it all around.By "it all" I mean my laziness that had me work less than 100 hours in 4 months. That's what I can control, I can't affect stupid zoomers having fun wrong by playing wrong games.
>>521165518Eric and Toby(just made a rom hack) didn't make several games before their big one
>>521165715>steamworks will be the final boss stopping me from releasing a finished fucking game for another 2 monthsWrong, the Switch 2 will prevent you from releasing for 2 months. You need /v/ threads for your game and you need them to not get archived so there can be a 30th Ninty thread.

>>521166504I saw this guy's devlogs over a year ago and the thing that struck me the most was how thoughtless he was. He has stumbled into - not decided - EVERY single idea he wanted to use. He wasn't inspired by one thing or another, he absorbed it like an amorphous blob, and listened to feedback that was very obvious and saying something like "I never thought of anything like that before!"I just don't get why NPCs have an easier time making games, man. I don't get it.

>>521165056Yeah I've mentioned something about this issue before. The amount of new people flowing in does not seem to be replacing the ones flowing out, wonder why. It's been like this for a few years yet somehow demo day numbers go up but it feels like there's less games here in the threads.
>>521166504The character controls and moves look very "any indie platformer" and the lighting looks like "default Unity project"But the paper and clay aesthetic is really cool.
Did you put a lot of thought into your dev handle and profile picture on social media? I feel like "[game name]dev" and "[your name]_[game name]" are generic as fuck, soulless, and cheesy.Do you think the silly pixel cat drawing and name "concerned ape" helped sell shartdew? I feel like it says, "hey heckin' kiddos! I'm inoffensive, I care, and am heckin cozy. Love those cats and being concerned about social issues!"The vibe his handle gives off suited his game and target audience.I seriously doubt he would have sold as well if his handle was "nibba_killa_88", something with a less cozy vibe, or a generic "shartdewdev".Or am I reading too much into this?Has there been any market research on this?
>>521167043because they just like make game while you're stuck in analysis paralysis and making excuses after exceuses
>>521167043lacking a brain usually results in having an easier time
>>521167542>market researchjust be yourself
>>521167542>social mediai dont use that gay nonsense
>>521167687>just be yourselfI'd be a megachud. Giga mega chudy. No human women in my MMORPG. Only female monsters. Character creation? Never heard of it. Staple of what ever westerner wants? Not me.
>>521167384The new games have no backstory so they're not interesting enough to replace the old anons.What can be said about Lottie? Are they a confirmed wagie? Who knows.
>>521167801neither do I, but I need to for marketing purposes. If I was a normalfag with an already existing normalfag-friendly account, this wouldn't be a problem.
>>521167116>how is learning how to cook mac and cheese going to help me become a chef?this is the best analogy because it won't. making unrelated slop won't help you make other slop like how making mac and cheese doesn't teach you how to cook a pizza
>>521167542>Did you put a lot of thought into your dev handle and profile picture on social media?I'm still thinking of it. Not having an identity slows me down by a factor of 100.>Has there been any market research on this?I've read through blog pages that explain the rational behind blobby tech startup names. Every syllable counts. Every potential subconscious association to something offensive counts.This will sound silly, but listening to nick rochefort describe a "type" of person bolsters my understanding of the world.

>>5211683726 demo days and not a single description can be made for the dev.The inner circle would never be that anonymous.
How do the lifetime impressions for your game look? This is for a game released in October of 2024.Only sold ~1500 copies. My capsule art and trailer were very weak, and I completely lacked a strong call to action. I underestimated the value of a CTA. People do what you tell them to do.If you want wishlists, don't ask, command it.If you want sales, don't ask, command it.Don't ask for a wishlist.Don't ask for a sale.Tell the user to do it.WISHLIST NOW!BUY NOW!These four words will make or break you. No matter the platform your game is being promoted on, your call to action will determine your success.People are very malleable.Tell them what to do. They will do it.
>>521168219>Not having an identity slows me down by a factor of 100.bro so much in gamedev and life is like this. If I could be certain of a vision, then actually following through would be inevitable.Like we all know at least one person who just knew his whole life he wanted to do X, so he went to school and worked to do that.I've always been indecisive. I have lots of good ideas for games, and even within the one game I've chosen to work on. How do people cut through the gordian knot and suddenly have a firm idea of where they want to go or what they want to make? Or are they just NPCs acting on feeling and not thinking about it? If I knew exactly what I wanted, the rest seems like it would be relatively easy.
Woke up feeling pretty gross this morning. Thought I may have been sick but I am okay! Just got awful sleep. I also spent multiple hours on the stupidest bug, but I figured it out along with adding in some UI animations and updating how the virtual pets in my game work.
>>521168893These are the lifetime impressions for another game I made. Early 2024. I put much more effort into the capsule art, and the results are apparent. Much higher conversion rate for impression to visits. Not sure exactly what happened in July to boost the visits that much. I think I put the game on sale, or had a big update, or maybe participated in a festival. I don't know.
>>521168923I've lived as a pseudo-recluse/hikkineet for just about 10 years now. Every extended human-to-human conversation (irl) moves me to tears. Not for any reason other than being seen is emotionally impactful.Story time:Winds knocked over my trash can on trash day. The trash truck was just approaching my street. I rushed out to pick up the bags. The trash truck stopped and the trash man got out and helped me pick the bags up. He said "It's the wind that blew the trash can over!". I said "Yeah!". This interaction lasted 15 seconds.The trash man was a normal guy, and he assumed I was a normal guy. For a week after this, my perception was altered. The taste of the air was different. The experience of viscerally existing as a normal guy in the eyes of a normal guy was a lifechanging buff, until it wore off.
>>521145352He released with only around 3k wishlists, well below the recommended 7-10k in order to hit New & Trending, and yet he's currently higher up on N&T than where he was when I went to sleep. It's not like he's actively promoting it, and it's not like any streamers or notable youtubers are playing it. It's a good game that normal people are playing, and so it's selling itself entirely via the Steam algorithm.
>>521168424honestly not a bad play
>>521168893Can we see the game?
>>521153993Interesting, very nice. Now let's see the qualifications of their second game's devs.
Posting dev music:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XKXff_rbCo
i think telling indie devs to start off with small games is the best possible advice you can give them, but only because it shows them how important marketing and promotion is if you want people to know your game actually existsit's better to be a naive fool and release a game with zero promotion if the game only took you 6 months to make, as opposed to 3 yearseven if you don't care about money, you'll eventually get sick of having nobody playing the games you put so much effort into, and will naturally become more passionate about gaining exposure for all of your hard work>spend 6 months making a cool game>nobody plays it>repeat>repeat>repeat>okay fuck this>i don't care about money but spending 2 years making flop after flop sucks>i want people to actually play the shit i make>i'm going to learn how to market my game>oh shit 90% of marketing a game is just designing it to appeal to a specific target demographic>fuck that i want to make my own games>what is the last 10% of marketing>oh it's promotion, shilling your game basically>how do i do that? just plaster it everywhere and get a bunch of views, exposure, eyeballs, attention, whatever you want to call it>then have a call to action, tell people to actually go play it, otherwise they'll just look at the promotional content, react to it, go do something else, and then forget about it>that's how you promote a game? very easy, just be shameless lmao>wait, how does steam work?>oh shit all i need to do is have a strong burst of sales within a 2 week period and the steam algorithms will promote my game for me?>okay, very easy>wait, is it really that easy?>why do indie devs struggle with this so much?because we all secretly feel like our games are bad, and will never be good enough to justify any form of promotionwe keep our games hidden, refusing to promote them, because we're scared of being criticized for the flaws of our games we know to be true
>>521167384>>521167951Just wait for me anons, I will bring AGDG to a new halcyon era, mark my words. Just let me finish my minimum viable product, might have it for the demo day 63.
>>521166504
>>521169787sorry, but no, at least not yet, my personal identity is attached to my development pursuit and i refuse to be directly associated with this websiteplease understand
>>521170197How much did you make from the 1500 copies?
>>521170113why would you bother promoting a shit game, thats just wasting moneymake a real game instead of wasting your time piddling around with meme projects then promote that
>>521170197Who is watching?

my 3d model of a gun sucks.
if you're a legit noname dev with 0 following and nobody knows you do you go straight to steam with your game or do free releases on itch to build a following?
>>521170551lets see it
>contact streamer>says game looks cool, will feature in a video>ghosts meI shouldn't have gotten my hopes up
>>521170565straight to steam, promote your game on external platforms
>>521170565>build a following>on itch...? You should build a following on other social media first and then release to itch for people to try out your game or demo or whatever.
programming retard here. does unity have a hub where they share code snippets?

>>521170715I am still working on it. After I get a decent block out I will show it. I wont stop 3d modeling until I pass out
>>521171025yes, https://discussions.unity.com is good, just search up the topic you want more information aboutunity and gamedev discord servers will also have good code snippets if you use the search feature there, as well as stackoverflow
>>521171678Retards still haven't figured out that when fagoon makes a thread to not use it and wait til someone else starts a thread (or make it themselves if they aren't lazy)
>>521169028I love the idea of tamagochi style things in a game like this. When it cut away it looked like an older horror game - is it a horror game like it looks or is it a different genre? Please tell me one of the main mechanics is taking care of your pet so it doesn't make excess noise lol
>>521167951cosmic construct has a story though
>>521167524the paper and clay aesthetic was ripped directly from tearaway, one of his devlogs had him making everything generic models until someone told him it looked boring, then he added the clay and paper aesthetic because he literally couldn't think of anything else.>>521170154he's beyond help, truly.
>>521172996how do you know when fagoon makes a thread?
>>521172996that's because fagoon has been actively driving people away, it's been a few times now that people have talked about abandoning /agdg/. I wouldn't be surprised if some various /agdg/ bunkers across random imageboards have been revitalized from some devs that were previously from these threads...
>>521173257I was sleeping for the last 12 hours so I'm not sure on the last one but typically in his normal autistic fashion he self posts.
>>521173341Please tell me where /agdg/ guys are hanging out on other imageboards so I can leave
>>521173257he always either adds something from his game or random self-made fanart (as opposed to progress or memes made in the previous thread as is tradition) or he adds a link to his russian alice loli shit or a link to his game's demo hidden in the OP like he did last thread (under helpful links, "/abettergame/: blah blah frydarian tale or whatever")it's really quite pathetic, and what's worse is sometimes people don't notice and it doesn't get removed for days.
>>521173341Well the only other 2 threads he appears in constantly as well so I don't know how you'd escape. Most people on /v/ don't even know how terrible he is because he tries posting differently and playing victim.
>>521172996this seems like a common trend among /vg/ generals
>>521169028What's this game about overall?
>>521170113At a guess, do you know how many visitors a day you get on a Steam page for a game that you're not promoting at all?
>>521168114The most retarded take in this general since I've been here (July 2023)
>>521170113>even if you don't care about money, you'll eventually get sick of having nobody playing the games you put so much effort intoi want people to play my games but i refuse to give my games for free. i want money for it but i also want people to play it. wahlah i'm a jobby dev. imagine games couldn't be sold for money, the plays alone would not be enough to keep me working on games, it takes a lot of effort, i want something out of it.
>>521173425http://8agdg.wikidot.com/general:bunkerssome of these still have posters. I personally check out trashchan and ch3 occasionally and I think I'm gonna try and start an /agdg/ bunker on swedishwin but I don't think they'll like some of the posters from here as they have a bunch of anti-loli and some anti-anime rules
>4am >no 4am general in /v/reposting for late night neetsthe gauntlet ai program was legit, if you're non-retarded you can qualify and go through it and get an insane job offer at the end without having to do a technical interviewyou can have a good life if you want
>>521170826>even over email some people are too scared to simply ignore or speak truthfullyit's annoying desu
>>521173878>https not available
>>521173961The whole world is becoming a hugbox with people lying to not sound mean
>>521173939>the gauntlet ai program was legitWhat are you doing here, then?
>>521170534this guy sounds extremely obsessed with market research, maybe it makes sense for him since he actually completes games but I feel like its the wrong approach
>>521174000Really just young people, lmfao. I love when I see people post on reddit and they censor their own swear words even though there's no rule saying they have to kek. Young people are such sensitive lil pussies it's hilarious. Even in these threads you can pretty much tell someones age by the dumb bullshit they are posting about and worrying about. You guys are fucking doomed from being over coddled and locked to the internet.
>>521174131All you need is a good solid fun game and it sells itself. Marketing beyond that is literally just posting and sharing about it and people go "whoa thats cool" and buy it.
>>521173257because he asks me how do I know he made it, so he can try and hide his tracks better
>>521174143theres also a kind of "i dont want to lost my 23 subscriber channel on twitch" play-acting that they're big streamers that have to obey the TOSlike how people as soon as they promotion start talking about "wat if it puts me into a higher tax bracket"
>>521173939>gauntlet anon who wanted other bro's is unironically backMy sense of time.....oh boy it really is happening my sense of trying to succeed before a certain age is now affecting my sense of time. it used to be time only went fast when I was having fun, it happens nearly all the time now. Iirc you wanted to get in on this with a /v/ anon but also tried asking us /agdg/ bro's. Did anyone take you up on the offer of going through it together? Iirc this was in Texas, right? Any info you can provide? I do not want to go back to college for a CS degree and end up as CS support making $40k annually for years before moving up to something that pays really good. What kinda job did you get and how much does it pay, though in case of a dox just some vague info works.t. Neet gamedev
>dev for several hours>get tired>do nothing until 6-7pm>resume devanyone else?
>>521173972yeah, they're bunkers. You're supposed to go through and find out which of them are still active.
>>521174334God the tax thing is so annoying. I'm not sure why people have trouble grasping the simple concept of only earning in each bracket is taxed at that percent. What the fuck do they think brackets are?
>>521174485it's the reverse for me
>>521174485Pretty much every day. I devved yesterday for like 7 hours then cleaned my house did my taxes and slept for 12 hours only to now begin devving again.
>>521173878>swedishwinwe could easily colonize their /sci/ board as it's such a small site with so few jannies that they would probably leave it up just because "gamedev is tech and tech is science, and we need the pph, so it's fine" and they might not even notice us there for a couple weeks lolI'll make a thread and we'll see how it goes
>>521174485With my other game it was usually.>wake up>"i'll dev soon after getting out of bed">don't seriously dev until like 10pmI believe it's a major reason my sleep schedule is the way it is. If I can change this I'd probably be able to fix my sleep schedule.
i'm preparing the boss room for this guy>exit a tunnel>energy walls appear all around the arena>boss music starts playing
>>521174761https://swedishwin.com/sci/res/47.htmlhere we go, if anyone wants to start posting there. Be prepared for VERY slow threads, of course.
>>521174790You are also devving at 4 am? I think I'm going to pull an all-nighter because I messed up my sleep schedule again.What if you collapse the tunnel behind the player like the boss shot at it?
>>521175042never heard of this site, how do i know i'm safe going there and not about to get viruses?
>>521174790I like him, cool design even if a little simple. I presume you'll touch up the head at least a little bit before too long?
>>521175074it's 10am where i livei try to make a little progress right after breakfast to set a good mood for the rest of the day
>>521174446There were about 200 other people for the online portion, then 150 were still around after the first month and like 120 showed up in Austin. They paid for everything and even bussed us back and forth from our apartments to the office. The age range was mostly 20s, some 30s, a few 40s, a few under 21. The vast majority of people took jobs working for Alpha School which is a private school there in Austin, and Texas is going to start giving 10k a year in education vouchers, so the person that set up the program (it was mainly set up for his companies to hies from, there wasn't a lot of outside interest except some people from Epic came and talked/recruited). Jobs were all 200k with no weird bs or runaround. you should definitely try the next one in June if you aren't doing anything else with your life.

>>521177809thislet's talk about fagoon again
I want you to imagine a fictional scenario for a second.Let's say you made a game in 3-4 years. It has some "novel" mechanics that haven't been used like that before. Let's say the game is about magic and wizards, and the gameplay has a spell making component, a spell casting component and a spell binding (to items, locations) component. The game is a moderate success, about 500 reviews in 1 year. People say it's a bit rough but the gameplay is original and fresh.Now let's say someone comes and pretty much steals the "spell making" part of your gameplay. Completely rips off the mechanics 1 to 1 and just makes a small game entirely centered around that gameplay loop. You don't even get to use the spells you make, you just get points based on how well the spell is made, like in Balatro or something. The game also has worse art than yours, but is sold at half the price and only made in like 3 months. The game then proceeds to get around 10-20k reviews in the first year. How would you react to that? How would it make you feel? Do you think the judge would be sympathetic when I plead guilty for murder?

>>521178353reach out for a collab because of the similar mechanicsGrit your teeth, of course, as it's still frustrating, but if you show up and say "Hey! Your mechanics look inspired by mine. How about we make a sequel together combining parts of both?" then you'll be golden.

I think it's legitimately over. Passion doesn't work anymore. High effort doesn't work anymore. Audience targeting doesn't work anymore. Literally the only thing that has any effect is extremely expensive marketing or having connections with streamers. This entire industry is in the toilet
>>521179236this is just cope for people with no talentthe cream always rises to the top
>>521179379No it doesn't. Let's get real. Only shit rises to the top, because it's hollow
>>521179379It's not a guarantee, but it also never was in the first place.
>>521179236Been working for me so far. Maybe you're just making something not good.
i'm trying this out but it's getting really annoying when i press a button to make a new post it'll always direct me back to the top to do the same thing again why can't you make the edit button appear after you do the initial post i'm just confused lol
Lol the meta is making games faster and faster which will result in even more games flooding steam exacerbate the problems with the indie market which will necessitate making games even faster. Its a race to the bottom like what happened to the google play store. I don't blame developers doing it, its the only way to guarantee income right now, but I do blame steam for facilitating it.
>>521179451>Let's get real. <Incoherent cope>>>521179532See last thread. The amount of devs making it each year has remained roughly the same for the last 12+ years.

>>521179532The real meta is figuring out how to make money with something you don't mind doing few hours a day on remote and which pays well. And keep everything else as a hobby.
show me one amazing game that got ignored by the market due to lacking "marketing" or "connections with streamers"
>>521179948My game
>>521179948Marmoreal
>>521179948Marmoreal makes me sad. I don't have it in me to tell marmodev that even this far into development it looks kinda ass. I just hope they're not too emotionally invested into it.
I need motivation to kill myself
>>521179948Last thread I offered to write articles for any single one of you who (You)'d me their steam page. Not one of you accepted the offer.That is how shit you all are at marketing.

If you don't have a half finished game by now is over already. How many of you just started gamedev? Same as art.
>>521181336How many of you have one lonely project on your itch user page?
>>521178353I'd understand that their success, like mine, was entirely a matter of dumb luck.
>>521181336>If you don't have a half finished game by now is <disgruntled crabspeak>
>>521181336i think my game is half finished but i've been at it for 10 years
>>521181336Demotivational Propaganda Disregarded
>>521181393now I feel personally attacked
Are you seriously fucking kidding me? Am I seriously supposed to start fucking contacting youtubers on my own? Can't at least one of these lazy fucks find my game organically
>>521181731Its a buyers market
>>521181731what game?
>>521181393Me... Because I hide all the projects I'm not currently working on
>>521167542I added one letter to my old PSN name.
>>521181817Isn't this dumb? How will you find out if one of your in progress projects appeals to someone if you hide it?I get to see which projects are popular when.
Im allowed to translate using AI, right? Surely THAT doesn't need to be declared?
>>521181934On steam, you have to declare that.If they find out you lied about it, its a breach of contract.
>>521167542I can't use my online handle that I've been using for 15+ years because there are discord servers where I said the word nigger and I know for a fact that I've made enough petty asshole enemies that will try to cancel me if I somehow release a hit. I need a new name but I don't know how to make it as good and snappy as my current one.
>>521181934I would declare it. It's fine. Users in those languages will know right away anyways.
>>521182008>creative enough to make a hit videogame>not creative enough to make an online aliasI think only one of these can be true anon.
>>521182132Coming up with a good name is harder than anything else.
>>521182039I just tried translating a couple of paragraphs of a novel to my language and I couldn't tell it was AI.
>>521182230AI does pretty well with larger bodies of text, but it's easy to make mistakes with shorter strings due to a lack of context.
>>521178353I'd be smart enough to notice the difference was that they used a sensible scope and I didn't and that I targeted a market that doesn't exist and they targeted a growing one.
>>521181920I don't need feedback on the games I'm not working on.
>>521182003>>521182039Sheeeit. Looks like niggas ain't reading my game unless they MURRICAN
>>521180287and I asked you what the reach of that article is going to be
>>521178353Id be furious if that happened to me. Ironic how something like 10 years ago one company sued another for copying their game. They settled out of court iirc. I wish that would happen nowadays because Im super butthurt that I went super hard on being original while others literally copy various games with no threat of being sued.Now if you dont mind, may we see your game and the person who copied yours?
>>521178353Originality is overrated.
>>521181393Is my lonely demo project doing fine?
>>521178353Yeah it happened to me. Had a cool idea, made a prototype, got some downloads. Fast forward a year later, a dev team pretty much copied the whole premise and neat details it had. But they are sloppy and their previous game was a shitfest so I'll try to surpass them even if I don't have the press on my side. Its worth an attempt.
I don't know if he'll see this but I legitimately love Healed to Death, "healer-focused single-player mmo party gameplay" is precisely the game I wanted to play that didn't exist until now.
I haven't ever participated in a demo day, I'm thinking of doing now because I haven't had a time before where I programmed at least a bit every day on the thing I'm makingThough so far I only have game systems and absolutely nothing else, I thought of zipping the source code and upload it alongside the "prototype" at least until I have a "game" going on.>How much of "only have game systems" are you talking about?I quite literally just have a character controller, camera and a hitscan bullet systemI even feel embarrassment and shame about the idea of just posting webms of what I'm doing
Thanks godon't

>>521184276my bad, the script was running under @tool and it was causing the errorthough it's still a bug since the engine doesn't tell you these errors anywhere except the console which most people don't use
if I ever suddenly get a large sum of money I'm going to put it all in bonds, quit my job, live off of the interest and spending the rest of my days making interesting games that's the dream
How do I contact youtubers?
>>521184640youtubers@youtube.com dumbass. Everyone knows this, this is why you're never going to release
>>521184640leave a comment in one of their videos and make a donation so the comment is highlighted
>>521182386>I targeted a market that doesn't exist and they targeted a growing one.But the only reason the second company could target a growing market, was because the first company took the risk to target a non-existent one and prove the concept? If the lesson we took from this was "never target a non-existent market" then there'd be no new growing markets because everyone would only do what has already been proved and tested.
>>521184603You'd need a really large sum of money for that.
>>521184603What the FUCK is a bond beside that runescape thing.
>>521184850government debt, they're borrowing from you in the form of a bond
Make a game that you'd want to play not a game there is a market for
>>521184990That's impossible because there's a market for the game I want to play
How's that Schedule 1-like coming along?
>>521184394Just lurking on and off for the last 5 years or so I thinkI just haven't interacted ever because I don't have anything to contribute with, except when maybe someone asked something about Unity. The most I've done was back when the hackmd markdown was created and I added a bunch of resources / solutions for Unity and very few about Unreal, in the case someone was like "boy i need AI or pathfinding for my game, what could I use so I don't have to spend 500 years programming it myself?" back when it was split by engines in different pages instead of being all in a single page compressed md, but I eventually gave up because keeping track of the md being updated and changes not appearing the next version with no idea why the reason was demotivating
>>521184812I know, I know>that's the dream
>>521185382why would you spend 5 years here without participating with your own game are you insane?
>>521185467t. zoomer coded post
>>521176709Why did he leave again?
>>521184809The market that was targeted wasn't 'spell-building game', the market that was targeted was 'Balatro-esque builder where number go up'. OP's game was an entirely different genre. By the sounds of it, it was like an action-rpg with spell-focused mechanics. The thief took one mechanic, reframed it into a new core concept and genre and tada!
>>521185467I started my project a month or two ago. those years spent here was just browsing, and it's not like I actively check in every week, or even every month.Last time I visited bokudev was having a melty about how he spent a decade or w/e in his game and how he made absolutely zero sales or gathered zero attention, there was also a dude making a 2D fighting game with hand drawn sprites,I just lurk threads of subjects I like just to spend time sometimes, some of them have devolved into actual asylums over the years like the AI text generation threads over at /g/
If you can't build a vertical slice of your game in a week, then you need a new game idea.
>>521186154What is your game?
>>521186154I mean, I can make a verticle slice in an hour. That doesn't make the game.
im new, has anyone here ever made it?
Wait bokudev released his game??
>>521168893my game isnt out, here's what a flop in the making looks like

>>521186297Yes, but it's never one of the people with garbage art that they refuse to fix and improve.
I don't even know what 'impressions' are. I don't use social media.
>>521186518It takes time. I would wager theres some people in here that have been working since then that will succeed. I won't point any of them out because it makes nodevs seethe and the thread derail though.

>>521186518Goalpost moving aside, Bug Fables, Project Wingman, YOMI Hustle, Fight Knight off the top of my head.
>>521182008My code to a good name has always been this:1, It needs to feel good to say. Like the actual sounds you make have to be tongue-friendly sounds. Because you don't want people stumbling over your name. In that case, they'll just opt to not say it.2, Two syllable names are optimal. You can do three syllables if it's a really good name. But type to keep it down to two. This keeps things nice and snappy. Nobody want's to say a name that's too long.For example, "Elizabeth" is too long. 4 syllables. That's why it gets cut down to Beth, Liza, Betty, or Elli. Among others. Elizabeth has a couple dozen nicknames. All to avoid having to sound out that long name.3, You can include an optional title name. Say the two syllable name you settled on was "beaver", then your title name might be "river". So together, its "beaver river". Both "bea" and "ver" feel goo on the tongue. And "river" is not bad. Though "reaver" sounds better. So may make it "Beaver Reaver."

Osur had five years worth of wishlists and the full nepo support of the inner circle behind him and even he flopped.What chance do any of the rest of us have?
>>521188129Rather than the number of syllables, IMO it's more important to think of the meter used. "Stardew Valley" is two trochee, so it glides off the tongue. Some other trochaic names:>Mighty Morphin' Power Ranger>Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle
>>521183941I saw it anon, just fixing some low-risk bugs for 1.0.1.
>>521188749If you made it then why are you still a bitter incel over someone who (still) makes more than you?

>>521188129>>521188838"Stardew" is the name. Valley is the additional title word. You can just call it "Stardew", and people will know what you're talking about.

>>521188983I'm saying that names like >Stardew Lagoon>Stardew Plateau>Stardew Ravinewouldn't sound as good because lagoon, plateau, and ravine are iambs, whereas>Stardew Mountain>Stardew Canyon>Stardew Forestsounds better because they're trochees.

>>521189385ok. I mean, you might be onto something. I don't know linguistics that deeply to know what tochees or iambs are. But certainly the words you say are trochees feel better on the tongue.However, you replied to the other anon without contesting his claim that "Stardew Valley" is a 4 syllable name. So that's why I replied to you.

Hey crabby, twice fast! *socks you in the gob*

we are so back
>>521191035yes
Steam and steam users love slop though?
>>521191035Is this how it works? Then it would be optimal to release a side project first to maximize the main one's release?

>>521194082disgusting
I made 3 games without learning anything about making games. Each of them made me more money per hour than my Javascript code monkey job.For my 4th and 5th games I was learning theory about gamification and marketing and color theory. Both those games failed miserably. Now I'm working on my 6th game, often drunk, trying to forget what I "learned" about making games. The funny thing is that theory could be good and the failed games weren't worse than my first 3 games, but instead the competition got better and more numerous. I was Jesse Owens who won the gold in Berlin but now I'm competing against Usain Bolts or whoever is faster now.
Marmoreal is an overscoped failure of game design. It would be an unfinished flop all the same if it was skinned as a dark fantasy like PoE2. At least he didn't have a house to sell like Brush or Sasquatch. Don't design games outside your means.

>>521195572i'd like to think i can evaluate a game fairlyas you can see it only got meme replies though where it should be obvious to anyone why it didnt become a massive successi just dont think its at all likely for someone to make a really good game then for it to somehow get ignored due to lack of marketing, in fact the opposite is much more likely to happen where a flawed game flukes its way into popularity for whatever reason
>>521196202Not only is that not true, but it's typically because "indie" devs refuse to get good at art. For a minute the fake ass 2d nostalgia allowed people to cheat the system but the reason there is less success in general is everyone just puts out slop 2D or 3D.

>>521198542>you end up having to do marketing to convince the algo that you will be profitableYou don't, because it's the algorithm's job to figure out what makes them the most money. They give every game a small baseline of daily visibility to test that game's performance against other games. Steam is not going to just leave money on the table.

>>521199692I take game development as a dialogue between me and the player. I am talking, through my game.
>>521194791Whenever I see somebody cry about how their awesome game is overlooked, I take a gander and lo, it's always either mediocre or actual dogshit more often than not. Like no shit, probability states that some great games would get overlooked, but I also personally can't find any easy examples. Making a great game is still the easiest way for it to sell.
>>521199779all me btw
do indie publishers care about past experiences qualifications or mainly care about the quality of prototype/demo?
>He thinks he can escape chudceldom by becoming an indie game dev
>>521200392They're not a tech company why would they give a shit about your qualifications. They just wanna see a game they think has a good chance of selling, which typically corelates with it being good.
>>521179948banquet for fools
I don't even mention that I gamedev. I get laid by writing that I like anime and movies in the description.

>>521199137It's obvious what will make them money. The games that come right out the gate on release day and make a bunch of sales will make them money. Those games do that because they marketed.Why waste time on games that haven't generated outside interest?
>>521201283>Same for Marmoreal.
>>521201380Everyone knows it's you pedo faggot
>>521201380fagoon we all know it's you, fuck off already you autistic idiot.
So wishlists mean nothing if your store is open for 3+ years whoever was interested in your game probably ded.
I wanna be friends with Fygoon, but I like anime so he will not want to be friends with me.
>>521200702So how does the funding work exactly? do they care about how i spend the money or they only care about my progress at each deadline? because my game doesn't really need money, i mainly need the money for new pc and my personal expenses so if they will restrict how i spend the money it will be totally pointless.
>>521201602>>521201698https://arch.b4k.dev/vg/thread/520279782/#520282412we all know it's you, schizothe liq pedo 'cord has been a blight on this place
>>521201732Total wishlists accumulated is a very weak signal. Resting wishlist velocity is a much strong signal.
>>521201738If you don't incessantly try to shove anime down my throat then I don't care. My best friends like anime but they don't make it their entire personalities and we bond over other things.

>>521202316Hell yeah, dude. Also, there are much better avenues to connect with me (such as Discord)>>521202430It's your attitude's fault that you have no friends.

>>521202478Yes it does. It literally looks as good if not better than Diablo 2. Take your meds you coping zoomer midwit
>>521201561Healed to Death released with only around 3k wishlists, and it will very easily pass 3k sales within the first week if it hasn't already: i.e over 100% week 1 wishlist conversion rate. (@Branno please provide your numbers if you can. Thank you.) He doesn't have a publisher and didn't promote it quite that hard (no streamers and no big youtubers), and he's obviously not promoting it himself right now, since he's preoccupied with fixing day1 bugs. It's a game that the Steam algorithm tried showing to some people. More of those people bought the game than other games Steam showed, and they played it for much longer than other games, and so Steam continues to show HtD to more people. That's all it takes.
>marmored to death
>>521202847blud is gassing up a 100 players peak multi years projects, branno is gonna have to wageslave to make his next game
>>521202909It's an original game that doesn't try to be a direct diablo clone. It does some cool new creative things which is enough to make it noteworthy
Boat guys done but really regretting the color choice because it's not very readable. Oh well. Almost at the demo finish line. Some menu stuff, a couple enemy sprites and some overworld sprites and I'll be done.
>>521202847Yeah I think play time is what reinforces the algorithm more which should have been obvious. I'm focusing on making addictive gameplay time too. 4 of my 5 beta testers said they played for around 5hs and needed to stop themselves from playing.
fuck off zoomer retardsread a book for once in your miserable lives
>>521203059I really like this aesthetic. Only thing bothering me is how the portraits look misaligned from the rest of the UI. Red lines makes me think of horbror
>>521203182Thanks :)I wish I could work on it at work but I got moved to a different department so now all I can do is shitpost. Working for the government kind of blows sometimes
horbror here, have been playing with chatgpt for fun, fed it a bunch of my pictures, this is what it produced. Kind of interesting, I should make a horbror bot.
The amount of times I have been accused of being Fygoon tells me how delusional and obsessed some of you people are
>brand new email I made for socials already appeared in 5 breaches and 1 pasteIt's over.
>>521200727There are women out there who like anime and movies.There are so few women who gamedev so why would it attract the majority.But you are then missing out on qt thoughbietever redhead gamedev gf.

>>521200392they dont care about eitherthey only care that you sign away a percentage to them
>>521203312Yeah that's a dumb plugin issue I need to fix. It's super unintuitive how to map it out so it's basically a game of moving it pixel by pixel then reloading the game each time to see if it worked. I think I might just adjust the frames themselves at this point

>>521203008There's a chance it'll hit a new peak today at peak hours, and that'll be a good indicator to both Steam and us if it will continue to sell. Other /agdg/ releases that took much longer to develop and had publishers that got them a bunch of streams and 10x+ more wishlists such as ToK and Underspace sold about the same as HfF. Steam is your marketing. You don't need (much) external marketing.
>>521203373first time?
>>521203059we have fear and hunger at home
Well anon, where are your references, your homages to YTC?Aren't you gonna plant some flowers and mourn the greatest and most passionate developer there ever was?To do anything less, wouldn't that mean YTC has left no impression on you?
>>521203610charity is when you hand over money for nothing in returbthat accurately describes a publisher
>>521203739I like calling it fear and hunger dollar tree edition. Rolls off the tongue better when I tell people about it.
>>521203810I am going to have a wank to the slutty elves
>>521203810He doesn't like my game why would I put a homage to him on it
>>521203939Except Fear and Hunger was very ugly and also unfun.Do you really want to be associated with a finn's schizo rape fantasies?
>>521203810His characters trigger my AGP, I want to BE a slutty elf girl so bad it's driving me nuts!
>>521203812No? They market your game, help with stuff like translation, porting or a physical release, merchandise and generally help fund your work or find you people like illustrators, animators or whatever. As long as you don't run into a dogshit publisher you benefit from several magnitudes of higher sales, while they collect a percentage of that. It's a working model that only puts off the terminally greedy and nacrissistic.
It's fucking over
>>521203361How do you do this? I'd love to do this with my own comic

>>521205354They did for us. I don't know what else to say.

I only read posts that are accompanied by an anime girl. Everything else is redundant.

>>521210461Menu navigation using the analog stick. Pressing left/right on the stick triggers multiple times, making navigation impossible. I tried taking the @event and rounding the AxisValue, but it alternates between 0 and 1.

>>521211084sauce plz
>>521211274Is this for the ninja game?
>>521210851I have in the past. Two of our projects were in /v/3 2020. Worked with a group. Unfortunately outside of one or two things the majority of stuff never came out. I mostly stuck to the concept art/sprite side of things as coding eludes me (which is why I was a part of a team). I can ask everyone else if they're willing to let me dump some builds here. I doubt it though. Nowadays due to IRL things I stick to being a dad, managing /v/3, and making my comic. I help out on the writing side for the projects the group works on.

>>521211479No, it's for my Rozen Maiden-themed VS-like / Tower Defense game.
>>521211274For menu navigation, all you need to do is make sure the focus_neighbor values are set and call grab_focus when you pop up a menu. You do not need to write any code. The built-in actions like ui_left/right/up/down and ui_accept handle this.

>>521212004oh neat it's youwell since you're shooting bubbles at them, maybe you could make them filth monsters or mud golems or something. That would fit with your artstyle very well with how shaky and amorphous they could appear. Alternatively, maybe some sort of fire elemental? Lava golem? Not sure but I think any of those could be cool.

>>521211084>Your biggest accomplishment in lifeActually, at the moment, it's getting a trip to Amazon's Re:Invent conference in Las Vegas that they paid for.

>>521211839>Why would I do something I don't enjoy, when I'm neither getting paid nor threatened into doing it?The payment would come after publishing a successful game, known colloquially as 'making it' hence why you are ngmi, i.e. not gonna make it.The threat is only that you're going to do all this work on projects that you never finish and have nothing to show for all the time you've spent on these types of things. The threat is that this that you will wallow in mediocrity and obscurity because you stop as soon as things become difficult. Even if you one day decided you wanted to no longer be mediocre and actually make something and see it through to the end... you can't because you never practiced the vital skill of just working because it's time to work, not because you feel like it, of powering through a slump. The threat is that you will waste your entire life in this way. Entirely at the mercy of whatever random feelings happen to be in you, like a woman. No real capacity for agency, no determination>Lost the passionPeople like you don't get to use that word, you mistake your momentary fleeting whim as passion, that is not passion.And before you come back with some fortune cookie wisdom like>time you enjoyed wasting is not wastedthat is hollow and pure cope for losers, it pales in comparison to actually accomplishing goals that you set out to do.
>>521213137This requires setting up a separate inputMap just for analog movement and making the code across the entire game more complicated (I want menus to work with both keyboard and gamepad). From what I can tell this has been a longstanding issue since 3.5:https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/72737Surely something as simple as analog stick menu navigation would be a solved problem in Godot, right?
>>521212230hmm, maybe I'll do mud ball monsters. It'd give me more reason to use the vertex animations part of the shader.>>521212376I don't have an itch account yet :(I am working on a wordpress website to blog about shaders/make it into a portfolio but it's not public yet

>>521213727Also, it doesn't work because when using the stick _UnhandledInput gets called multiple times per frame. That's why I'm pulling my hair out, since getting the proper behavior is not simple.

>>521211274change>@event.IsActionPressed("Left")to>Input.IsActionJustPressed("Left")although accessing Input in the _input functions is kind of jank, it would probably be better off in _Updatethe _Input functions aren't really meant to handle Actions, I only really use them for mouse input.

>>521213936That requires using buttons. And from the research I've done, this problem also occasionally props up for the built-in focus functions.

>>521214438no, it's great, he's a giant fag.
>>521214028obviously _UnhandledInput is supposed to be called every time the joystick updates, which of course can happen many times a frameit kind of makes sense that InputEvent doesn't have a IsActionJustPressed method since you wouldn't really expect and event to know if it was the specific event that triggered the Action.Input.IsActionJustPressed just has to compare to whatever the Action's state was last frame
>>521213797
>>521214193It requires using Controls. If you want to do something fancier, like 3D cards, you can have them monitor and respond to the focus state of the underlying controls they are representing. If Controls are good enough for every Godot game on Steam, they're good enough for your game.

>>521217683it came out 3 hours ago.
>>521213797>>521217683This guy forgot your game needs to have a unique niche. There are tons of "VS-like but action melee combat" already on Steam. With much better production values, too.
>>521217827I do still think about it though, it's like all their online 'friends' are just fake clout personas
im gonna buy it just to spite you
>>521217683>>521218271I'm betting right now that it will convert less than 10% of those wishlistspeaks at 100 reviews in two weeks

>>521218347>This guy forgot your game needs to have a unique niche.It really doesn't.
>>521218271agdg games in the first hours get at least 5 to 10 reviews from their friends, I'm not talking about "real" consumers, i mean just regular people, friends who help out each other, that's what i'm getting at.
>>521218467vampire knight
>>521218475Yes it does. People meme on Balatro, but it's a very unique game. VS itself had the niche of Magic Survivor but on PC and better designed.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3000120/FISH_FEAR_ME/I can never tell how well a survivors clone is going to do. expected this one to get like 3 reviews and hollow survivors to get 100+, but the exact opposite happened
it's so frustrating that everyone knows /v/3 has been a sham yet there's a concerted effort by maybe 3 or 4 people MAX and with the old guard leaving /agdg/ more and more each day there are fewer and fewer people that remember even last year or the year before's /v/3's shitshowsjust fucking end this general already, christ

>>521223845You're right. I'm posting in the /v/3 thread. Fuck fagoon
I'll stay in here until jannies decide which one lives.
>>521215527Generally speaking, yeah. It's definitely do-able with custom texturing in a program like Substance Painter or Designer, but things like linework (either out lines or in lines), wanting things to "move around" etc, are way easier to do via shaders and/or post-processes.I think per-object materials and potentially shaders looks better overall (like pic rel, its a video I reference pretty often), but it's not practical for solo people like myself to do that. Instead I have one uber shader that covers the foundation of the stylings, and then a few post processing things I made to tie them together. It also makes it easier to switch up styles between painted, drawn w/ pencil, or colored w/ crayon on the fly.>>521223007Yeah. You can probably make cool things on substance painter or do 2D animations for things (I know a few games do 3D worlds, but the characters are 2D drawn, like that recent surreal/dreamy BBQ game)
>>521223970It should be obvious: the one with seniority and is actually related to game development.

>>521173106>>I love the idea of tamagochi style things in a game like this. When it cut away it looked like an older horror game - is it a horror game like it looks or is it a different genre? Please tell me one of the main mechanics is taking care of your pet so it doesn't make excess noise lolThank you! There are like three threads now from when I first posted so I'm not sure where to respond, but yeah, it is a horror game. Your main defense against monsters is your gun that houses a pet in it. And yes, if you don't take care of the pet and it gets hungry it will start making noises that can alert monsters. If you let your pet starve to death it will eat you and in a game over. You also need to keep your pet fed to regenerate your gun's ammunition/energy.>>521173620>>What's this game about overall?Without doing a tl;dr, the main character is journeying far underground to get to a certain *place* so they can have their *wish* granted.Along the way you must defend yourself against monsters with your gun that also houses a virtual pet you need to take care of or else it'll kill you. The name of the gun and game is Tamabuki (Tama stemming from Tamagotchi/Tamago and Buki for weapon).
